A structured process that gets you a working hire in a week — not a month.
Real clients. Real outcomes. Real savings.
A 45-person Chicago firm cut drafting turnaround 75% and reduced per-project labor cost 60% after embedding 6 CAD drafters plus 2 BIM modelers in their Autodesk workflow.
Read case study →A London developer moved from freelance coordinators to a fixed Zedtreeo MEP plus structural team — saving £380K year-one while doubling active project capacity.
Read case study →A Brisbane design-build contractor added a BIM coordinator and 3 modelers — reducing coordination RFIs by 40% and pushing model handover from week 6 to week 3.

"We tried freelancers for 18 months — inconsistent quality, always chasing deadlines. Zedtreeo gave us a dedicated 4-person CAD team in 10 days. Our project margin went up 22% in one quarter."
"Their BIM modelers plugged into our Revit templates inside a week. Clash detection cycle time dropped from 14 days to 5. We've since added two more modelers and a structural engineer."
"We hired structural and MEP through Zedtreeo to replace expensive local contractors. Saved mid-six figures in year one, and frankly the delivery quality is better than what we had before."
Everything operators ask before hiring a architecture and engineering staff from Zedtreeo.
Pricing starts from $7 per hour for dedicated architecture and engineering staff. Full-time CAD drafters typically range $1,120–$1,600 per month, while senior BIM modelers, MEP engineers and structural engineers run $1,440–$2,400 monthly. There are no recruitment fees, no benefits, no equipment costs — you pay only for billable time on your projects. Expect 70–90% savings versus local hiring.
Our teams are fluent in AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, Civil 3D, SketchUp, Rhino, V-Ray, Lumion, Enscape, STAAD, ETABS, Tekla, and Bluebeam. They work to NBS, RIBA, AIA, ASHRAE, NFPA, IBC and Eurocode standards. Your firm's CAD title blocks, layering conventions, family libraries and file-naming rules are adopted during week-one onboarding.
A curated shortlist is delivered within 48 hours of your requirement call. After interviews, your chosen staff starts inside 5–7 business days — including a 5-day free trial on real project work. For multi-role teams of two or more positions, full onboarding typically completes within 10–14 days.
Yes. We staff overlapping shifts for clients in the US, UK, Europe, Middle East, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. During onboarding your team adopts your firm's CAD title blocks, layering standards, family libraries and file-naming conventions — so deliverables are indistinguishable from in-house work.
Every engagement is covered by a mutual NDA, IP assignment, and GDPR-aligned data handling. We operate on ISO 27001 certified infrastructure with VPN-only access, disabled external drives, and watermarked delivery where required. Your drawings, models and project data remain exclusively yours — always.
Yes. Scale up with new hires available in 48 hours; scale down with 30 days' notice. No termination penalties, no severance, no equipment write-downs. Most firms start with 1–2 roles during a busy quarter and expand to 5–10 within the first year as margin impact compounds.
You do, completely. Every engagement includes a written IP assignment transferring all work product, deliverables, and derivative materials to your firm. Your Zedtreeo team treats you as the sole owner — nothing is retained, shared, or reused across clients.
We staff architecture practices, MEP and structural engineering consultancies, design-build contractors, property developers, interior design firms, urban planning practices, and civil engineering companies across the US, UK, EU, Middle East, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — from 5-person boutique studios to 500-person multi-discipline firms.
